Injongo

Ehlabathini lonke, unyaka nonyaka phakathi 200.000 kwi 300.000 iintsana ezinesiphako se-neural tube (NBD) wazalwa. Ukuthatha i-folic acid ngaphambi kokukhulelwa kuye kwafakazela umphumo kwi-NBD. Ezinye iimeko zokuzalwa ezinokuthintelwa (ezifana neziphene zentliziyo, ukungahambi kakuhle kwamalungu, ukungahambi kakuhle kwenkqubo yomchamo, inkalakahla-, umlomo- kunye nomsantsa wemihlathi, kunye ne-Down syndrome), zenzeke ngamanani amakhulu nangakumbi. Injongo yeFolic Acid Extra (FzE) Uphando yayikukufumanisa isiphumo esongezelelweyo sedosi ephezulu ye-folic acid ekuthinteleni isifo sokuzalwa xa kuthelekiswa nesixa esicetyiswayo sangoku malunga nokukhawulwa., kunye nokusetyenziswa kwexesha elide le-folic acid ekuthinteleni ukuzalwa ngaphambi kwexesha kunye ne-preeclampsia.

Indlela yokwenza

Injongo yayikukuba 5000 ukugaya abafazi abanomnqweno wokuba nabantwana kwiminyaka emibini.

Isiphumo

Nangona kunjalo, imigudu enzima iye yaphumela ekubeni 336 abathathi-nxaxheba malunga nonyaka omnye. Yiyo i 1% ye 35.000 imeyile abafazi kunye 9% yeqela elingaphantsi labasetyhini abalindele ukukhawula kwisithuba sonyaka.

Izifundo

Ukuthathwa okukhulu kophando longenelelo lokuqonda ngokuqinisekileyo kunokwenzeka (ngokwezibalo kunye nophando olongezelelweyo) ukuba izibonelelo ezongezelelweyo zenziwe zifumaneke, oko kukuthi:

Ixesha elide ukuya, onamava kumanyathelo awohlukeneyo okugaya, ukuqonda ukungena okuphezulu ngexesha leyunithi;
Uhlahlo lwabiwo-mali njengenkuthazo/umbulelo kubaboneleli ngenkathalo baziqhelanise ngokugqibeleleyo (kwazi uku) ukwenza;
Indawo eyongezelelekileyo (evela kwiKomiti yokuHlola iNdlela yokuziphatha yezoNyango) ukwandisa uqwalaselo lokuthatha inxaxheba ngokukhuthaza inkuthazo ngokusebenzisa amajelo osasazo asemthethweni nangekho sikweni;
Inkqubo yokuvuma egudileyo, uhlengahlengiso kunye nesikhundla sokubambelela kunye ne-go-nogo yenza isigqibo ngamaxesha (ukwenza ukuba amaphulo okugaya acwangciswe kwaye enziwe ngokuqhubekayo).
